Dear Mom & Dad : I Know You Are Worried About My Choices, But Trust Me, I Will Be Fine

Dear Mom & Dad, I know, I am not choosing the safest of paths. I know, I am turning away opportunities which will never knock at my door again. I know, I will be criticized, questioned and misunderstood for the choices I make. I know, I will fail, not once but multiple times.

20 Illustrated Quotes That Show You The Beauty and Power Of Being Broken

I stumbled upon an Instagram account this weekend and let me tell you, it was within the first 30 seconds that I followed the artist. If there is one thing you should know about me it’s this: I don’t follow a whole lot of people on social media.

I moved to Mumbai 7 years ago. I grew up and did my schooling in Dahanu, a town 3 hours away from Mumbai. And maaaaaaaan…the city came as a MAJOR shock to me. I grew to love it though.

I have never been a ‘goals’ person. Yes, I have my set of visions about the kind of life I want to build for myself. But I have never been someone who has to ‘do’ something to be happy. Towards the end of each year, there is a slow yet steadily-growing buzz about the upcoming New Year Resolutions. The very word (resolutions) sucks the joy out of me.
